Autonomous TGFβ signaling induces phenotypic variation in human acute myeloid leukemia

ABSTRACT: Heterogeneity of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) is involved in their collective chemoresistance. To eradicate LSCs, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying their heterogeneity. Here, we aimed to identify signals responsible for variation in LSCs in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML). While healthy human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells robustly expressed endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM), AML cells exhibited heterogeneous ESAM expression. Interestingly, ESAM- and ESAM+ AML cells were mutually interconvertible, and RNA sequencing revealed activation of TGFβ signaling in these cells. AML cells secreted TGFβ1, which autonomously activated TGFβ pathway and induced their phenotypic variation. Surprisingly, TGFβ signaling blockade inhibited the variation and proliferation of AML cells. Therefore, autonomous TGFβ signaling underlying LSC heterogeneity may be a promising therapeutic target.

Defective ribosome assembly impairs leukemia progression in a murine model of acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Despite the advanced understanding of disease mechanisms, the current therapeutic regimens fail to cure most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the present study, we address the role of protein synthesis control in AML leukemia stem cell (LSC) function and leukemia propagation. We apply a murine model of mixed-lineage leukemia-rearranged AML to demonstrate that LSCs synthesize more proteins per hour compared with the bulk of leukemia. Using a genetic model that permits inducible and graded regulation of ribosomal subunit joining, we show that defective ribosome assembly leads to a significant survival advantage by selectively eradicating LSCs but not normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Finally, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses identify a rare subset of LSCs with immature stem cell signature and high ribosome content that underlies the resistance to defective ribosome assembly. Collectively, our study unveils a critical requirement of high protein synthesis rate for LSC function, highlighting ribosome assembly as a therapeutic target in AML.

CD4+ T cell-derived IL21 regulates stem cell fate in acute myeloid leukemia by activation of p38-MAPK signaling - IL21R KO experiment

Project description:Self-renewal programs in leukemia stem cells (LSCs) predict poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. We identified CD4+ T cell-derived interleukin (IL) 21 as an important negative regulator of self-renewal of murine and human LSCs, but not hematopoietic stem cells. IL21/IL21R signaling favored asymmetric cell division and differentiation in LSCs through accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of p38-MAPK signaling, resulting in reduced LSCs number and significantly prolonged survival in murine AML models. In human AML, serum IL21 at diagnosis was identified as an independent positive prognostic biomarker for outcome and correlated with better survival and higher complete remission rate in patients that underwent high-dose chemotherapy. IL21 inhibited primary AML LSCs function in vitro by activating ROS and p38-MAPK signaling and this effect was enhanced by cytarabine treatment. Consequently, promoting IL21/IL21R signaling on LSCs may be a novel approach to decrease stemness and increase differentiation in AML.

The important role of GPR84 in MLL leukemogenesis

Project description:Beta-catenin signaling is required for establishment of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), yet the upstream regulators that can augment this pathway are unknown. Through genome-wide gene expression analysis and functional studies, we identified an important role for GPR84 in MLL AML. Suppression of GPR84 significantly inhibited cell growth in pre-LSCs, reduced LSC frequency and impaired reconstitution of MLL AML. Furthermore, GPR84 conferred a growth advantage to Hoxa9/Meis1a transduced hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Our microarray analysis demonstrated that GPR84 overexpression significantly up-regulated a small set of MLL-fusion targets and beta-catenin co-effectors, and down-regulated a hematopoietic cell cycle inhibitor. These data thus reveal a previously unrecognized role of GPR84 in the maintenance of fully developed AML by sustaining aberrant beta-catenin signaling in LSCs. HSC-derived Hoxa9/Meis1a pre-LSCs were transduced with GPR84 cDNA or empty vector, and replated in methylcellulose supplemented with cytokines. Each group contains triplicate samples.

A novel type of monocytic leukemia stem cell revealed by the clinical use of venetoclax-based therapy

Project description:Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease on both inter- and intra-patient levels. In many patients, relapse is driven by a relatively small pool of Leukemia Stem Cells (LSCs) that are able to resist therapeutic perturbation and drive proliferation of the malignant AML blast pool. Due to the low frequency of LSCs and high degree of heterogeneity between and within patients, inspecting these specimens at the single cell level is critical to identifying the true relapse driving cells and tailoring therapies towards these cells.

PI3Kγ maintains the self-renewal of acute myeloid leukemia stem cell through regulation of the pentose phosphate pathway

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are responsible for the initiation, progression, and recurrence of leukemia. Targeting LSCs is thought as an effective way to cure leukemia, for which it is pivotal to identify novel therapeutic targets. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway is frequently activated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and strongly contributes to survival and proliferation of leukemia cells. Herein, we revealed that the p110γ isoform of PI3K was highly expressed in both mouse and human LSCs. Leukemogenesis was drastically delayed upon Pik3cg deletion during serial transplantations in murine acute myeloid leukemia models. Knockout of Pik3cg resulted in a remarkably impaired self-renewal, enhanced differentiation, and 32-fold reduced number of mouse acute myeloid LSCs. Interestingly, Pik3cg deficiency did not alter the functions of mouse hematopoietic stem cells. Mechanistically, PIK3CG/AKT/NRF2/PGD signaling axis controlled the pentose phosphate pathway to regulate redox metabolism and support nucleotide synthesis to maintain LSC fates. PIK3CG knockdown also led to a significant extended survival of recipients transplanted with human AML cells. Pharmaceutical inhibition of PIK3CG could efficiently restrain the progression of AML. PIK3CG may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the elimination of LSCs without influencing normal hematopoiesis.

RNA-seq of LSC-like, non-LSC and Mature populations from human AML patient samples

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous disease and reliable detection of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) across genetic subclasses has proven difficult. We aimed to transcriptionally characterize LSCs specifically in monocyte-like AML (Mono-AML) and and primitive-like AML (Prim-AML) samples using cell surface markers. We used CD64+CD11b+ to define Mature blasts and labelled the rest as Immature. To further enrich for LSC-like cells in the Immature blasts in both Mono- and Prim-AML samples, we included GPR56, a marker for LSCs. We performed RNA sequencing on the FACS-sorted LSC-like and Mature cells from 23 AML patients.

Genome-wide expression analysis of wide-type and PirBTM MLL-AF9 LSCs

Project description:How the stemness of adult stem cells and cancer stem cells is regulated by environmental cues through surface receptors is poorly understood. In this gene expression analysis, we found that, in the mouse MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) model, a deficiency in intracellular signaling of inhibitory receptor PIR-B resulted in increased differentiation and decreased stemness of leukemia stem cells, revealing that PIR-B supports leukemia development. Our study indicates unexpected functional significance of a classical immune inhibitory receptor in the maintenance of stemness of cancer stem cells.

Rictor Plays a Pivotal Role in Maintaining Quiescence as well as Stemness of Leukemia Stem Cells in MLL-Driven Leukemia

Project description:Little is known about the roles of Rictor/mTORC2 in the leukemogenesis of AML. Here, we demonstrated that Rictor is essential for the maintenance of MLL-driven leukemia by preventing LSCs from exhaustion. Rictor depletion led to a reactive activation of mTORC1 signaling by facilitating the assembly of mTORC1. Hyperactivated mTORC1 signaling in turn drove LSCs into cycling, compromised the quiescence of LSCs and eventually exhausted their capacity to generate leukemia. At the same time, loss of Rictor had led to a reactive activation of FoxO3a in leukemia cells, which acts as negative feedback to restrain greater over-reactivation of mTORC1 activity and paradoxically protects leukemia cells from exhaustion. Simultaneous depletion of Rictor and FoxO3a enabled rapid exhaustion of MLL LSCs and a quick eradication of MLL leukemia. As such, our present findings highlighted a pivotal regulatory axis of Rictor-FoxO3a in maintaining quiescence and the stemness of LSCs. To understand the critical molecular events caused by Rictor loss in MLL-AF9-driven leukemia,the K+Gâ mice BM cells were sorted from the 1st BMT of RictorÎ/Î(MA9_R1,MA9_R2,MA9_R3) or control(MA9_C1,MA9_C2,MA9_C3), and subjected to microarray analysis on Affymetrix microarrays.Furthermore, the MLL-NRIP3-driven mice model was chosen for further examination.The K+Gâ mice BM cells were sorted from the 1st BMT of RictorÎ/Î(MN3_R1,MN3_R2,MN3_R3) or control(MN3_C1,MN3_C2,MN3_C3), and subjected to microarray analysis on Affymetrix microarrays.
